Twin Bridge lanes to close Tuesday

One lane will be closed on each of the U.S. 41 Twin Bridges for much of Tuesday, weather permitting, according to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.

The lane restrictions for northbound and southbound traffic are to allow for cleaning of the bridge deck and maintenance work in preparation for the winter driving season.

Starting around 8 a.m. Tuesday, all traffic will move to the left-hand passing lane on both bridges to allow a sweeper truck and maintenance personnel to clean the bridge driving surface and perform maintenance work on the driving lane.

Sometime around midday, all traffic will be moved to the right-hand driving lane to allow cleaning and maintenance work along the passing lane.

The maintenance work is expected to be completed by approximately 3 p.m. and the lane closure removed in time for the afternoon commute.

Motorists should be alert for slowing and merging traffic on the bridge approaches.
